| 1993 Volvo

ABS. white. City and highway driving. Survey by male, married,
51 to 60 years, 1-2 kids. |
"It seems that the questions are
tailored to avoid any problem areas. We had trouble with the
temp indicator and the dealer was never able to fix that. We
had trouble with the AC unit and the dealer made it work by replacing
the evaporator but then in 16 more trips to the dealer, they
never were able to stop it from leaking on the carpet. Dealer
service was poor and emergency repair needs had to be taken to
other than the dealer.
The engine is bad about jumping timing on the cam shaft caused
by the belt slipping. There has not yet been a successful fix
for that even though it is known that the idler wheel arm bearing
is rusting. There are others."
